Been a long time since I have posted. Just a comment or two regarding service. Phoning the service number there always seems to be an hour or longer wait just to get to someone. Finally got an appointment for a problem that the screens would periodically go dark (off). Service replaced a chip...

Hi Tom, Do you still have the Roadster available for sale? You can reach me directly at [email protected] Richard

If you have a pano roof, they now have a roof rack that is very attractive.

Please add me to the list.

Depends on a few variables like how far they have to run the wires. Do they have to go through walls? Is there enough room in your existing box? I got a quote from Solar City for $4,400.00 and had it done by a different electrician for $1,800.00. Used a 100 amp feed ran 90 feet and put in a...

Titled in wife's name. She currently drives it 70% of the time. If you ask her, it is our car. She is not on the forum. So technically you can't count her either. Like most political polls, this one is flawed. Remember the saying of my college statistics teacher: Statistics don't lie, but...

I like it!

Thanks, I have downloaded it, changed the background color to a sky blue, and resized it to a 13 X 19 which I can print myself. Looks wonderful. RNG

67 Thought I should bring up the average a little.

Thanks for Billy, He arrived safely Sunday night and is getting on very well! RNG Denver Zoo.

What manufacturer and size is this one? Mine rolls rather than folds and does not fit well.

1973 Volvo P1800ES---Lou because of it's license plate. 1960 Austin Healey --- Mr. Bloom It's yellow and my 96 Year old mother had a yellow parakeet named Mr. Bloom That's what she said when she first saw the Healey frame prior to my putting it back together and it stuck. 1964 Mercedes 230 SL...

I recently suggest that they manufacture and sell sun screens for the front windshield. Three reasons. 1. Keeps the car cooler in summer. 2. Saves the interior materials from deteriorating over time especially in the sun states. 3. Product identification and advertising, ie why not put the Tesla...

Don't do it! But if you don't, you'll be sorry... RNG

Signed.

iTunes is starting an internet radio station like Slacker. Does anyone have any details on this yet? How can I add apps to the car?

I'm 67 and the only problem I have with the car from an age standpoint is getting in and getting out. Raising the car helps. There are techniques to get in and out of cars as ones knees and backs create challenges. We had to remind my 89 year old uncle and 93 year old father all the time to put...

Comfort Creep Standard for city, Lower for Mountains.

67 and 55---That should skew things a bit!

If you have more than one garage door linked, the scroll could allow the driver to select the appropriate door and pressing could activate the opener. I like this idea, don't have to reach for the screen at all. RNG

Trip put together by Dennis. 29 Model S's, great day!

29 Tesla S's, Great views, Wonderful people! Thanks Dennis for setting this up. Hope to do another real soon! Richard & Juli

Keep it digitally on my phone.

The Mt. Evans trip was wonderful. 29 Tesla S's and great people. Hope we do something else real soon! Richard & Juli.

Tesla recommended provider quoted $4,500.00. My electrician $1,800.00. He did a great job.

Pano creaking and steering clicking both fixed today. They also replaced a non functioning lumbar switch. All seem great so far. RNG

Saw a Brown S on our way up to Evergreen Colorado Saturday and a white on in Evergreen the same day. Also a black one parked in Cherry Creek North, Denver, Colo. yesterday. Met two owners at the Denver Service Center today. One getting some service who may join us Saturday for the drive from...

If it is not gone, I will take it. How would like payment? PayPal? Thanks, RNG

Answer from Tesla: Hi Richard, Thank you for contacting Tesla Motors. I apologize for the delay, as I have been out of the office for the last few days. The Slacker App for the Model S was always built with the “Plus” account in mind. Due to this, most of the premium account functionality...

Realize that your car is black, but whatever your ultimate color becomes, how about this in a subtle but different color? RNG

Assume you have a black car. It will show every tiny swirl and scratch. Never use waterless on a black car. Much less any other car. I use Car wash soap with wool hit after a rinse. Then rinse with filtered water and dry with shammy or equivalent.

The Pano does offer one significant advantage. It has attachment footings for roof racks that the plain roof does not. So if you would ever desire a ski rack or any other rack the Pano roof is already prepared. RNG

Here is what I sent to Slacker on April 26: How long does the Tesla free Slacker last? What has to be done to subscribe and will there be additional features? - What features of the premium will work in the car, which won't? - Will playlists be accessible in any way? - Will I be able to do...

Actually these would be added on chrome pieces cut from the Tesla logo piece at the top of the nose cone. So they would go with any color. Just cut them out and use double stick tape. Removable with no damage. Regarding putting the list plate lower, I will consider it, but it now has the holes...

It was my understanding that they inspect all the electrical's and clean each and every electrical connection. These tend to oxidize which can lead to a bad connection. RNG

I am using Randy atVisual Effects 2171 S. Trenton Way #210 Denver, Co He did my window tint on the Tesla S and will be doing my 1973 Volvo P1800ES this afternoon. No financial interest. He does great work and stands behind his work and products. RNG

No, but after getting a $5,000.00 quote from Solar City, I hired my own electrician and got a fantastic job done for under $2,000.00. Had to put in a sub panel by the old breaker box, run 70 feet of 100 amp lines, a junction on/off box connection in the garage, and install the HPWC. Find your...

Nope, just something that some owners have requested.

Personally I am not thrilled with Teslas treatment of the front. In Colorado one is supposed to have front plates and I hate getting tickets. So including our front plates, here are two ideas that I came up with. 2. Carries through the graphics of the Colo plates. We haven't done anything yet...

Firmware 4.5: Display fonts Would someone who already has 4.5 please report if they added larger fonts for the upper banner on the main screen and the lower banner on the dash screen? The ones with the time and temperature. Thanks, RNG

I plan on having the service center checking the roof, it only creaks when it is open or has just recently been open, then it goes away. Shims should fix this. The squeaky noise can be fixed by just applying a very thin layer of silicon gel to the rubber bits. Note the very thin. This will wear...

This has been an interesting thread. Any of these kits should definitely be considered a temporary fix. From previous use of similar kits, I would recommend the Griot's kit over the others hands down. And would only use any of them in an emergency situation. Slime would be my very last resort...

I know this has been addressed before. but Here is what I just sent Ownership Experience: Hand washing my own cars gives great perspective. The paint armor product purchased with the car seems to be an inferior product. Just finished washing it and found a couple of new bubbles and two places...

WaWa's points are definitely true, however, Prius was constructed and developed by an existing mega company with very deep pockets and and a great deal of experience and feedback from customers over a very long period. Tesla is a brand new company (relatively speaking) and has made some...

Personally, I like Yellow! RNG

Thanks to those that have posted both the information and the "Feels Good!" comments. Will do some looking. There have been some media information pieces about Lexus, Mercedes and Audi all producing Electric Supercars in the next couple of years. These are sure to be pricey luxury cars at least...

Thanks to Lloyd and others for their suggestions. I have now tried all of the above mentioned methods. These might work on fresh stains, but they did not work on the older stains. They did remove some of the color of the stains. They appear to have some yellow or gold tones to them. but the...
